a happy shop peek: lutterlagkage

i am very happy to tell you about a fantastic new shop in malmo sweden, opened by the very talented and lovely stine of lutterlagkage. seeing this new store makes me very hyggelig happy indeed!

stine has filled this bright space full of her fantastic handmade children's clothing and home accessories.she has used amazing vintage wallpaper to decorate her shop that looks great along side the vintage fabric she uses to make her beautiful goods that include clothing and quilts. she is also selling some wares from other brilliant designers too in her new store.

if like me you live too far away for a visit (although one fine day i hope to have a wee trip) then you can visit her beautiful webshop instead. if you are lucky enough to stay nearby then lutterlagkage is on hyregatan 7 and open thursdays from 11-4. please say hi from me!

i first came across stine's great style via her flickr photo site that has snaps of her amazing home. i love the way she has decorated her space right down to her fabby bright orange smeg fridge!




stine i wish you every success with your new shop and i thank you for being a constant inspiration to me!

the magic conker


i love autumn. it has always been my favorite time of the year. one of the things i love about it are conkers. they remind me of when i was a kid, gathering fallen ones from trees on the way to school to thread onto string and have conker 'fights' with chums.


i love this book from my childhood as it has a very happy ending! there is a tree in the city a short stroll from my home that has a plentiful supply at this time of year. i was lucky enough to find all of these ones there.
